The Amateur Traveler goes to Rome Italy. Hear stories about seeing Rome with kids, ancient Rome (the Roman Forum, the Colosseum, the Pantheon, etc), the Vatican and about living “la dolce vita” – the sweet life. We eat ice cream and encounter pickpockets. And we drive in Rome… which I would not recommend.

It is nearly impossible to travel in Italy without finding something historic – Italy has the most UNESCO World Heritage Sites on the planet, and there are plenty of things that UNESCO doesn’t get at numbering that are in all probability older than whatever you’ve seen before. Italy is a country with history.
